Nutty Dressing for Salads and Roasted Vegetables

kale saladI’m not going to be modest here.  This nutty dressing is incredible!  The fat from the nuts is key to making this dressing superior. Even my mom likes it and she is my top critic in the kitchen.  I’ve perfected this recipe over the years to include a good balance of fat, flavor and texture.  As with all recipes, I suggest you experiment.  If there is an ingredient you don’t like or your body just doesn’t tolerate, simply remove it. My mom is not a fan of ginger, so I took ginger out of my last batch and it was still delicious!

Options/Tips:

  • If you are using kale and time allows, add the kale first and ‘massage’ the dressing into it with clean hands.  Kids will have fun massaging the kale.  Once the kale is fully coated with dressing, toss in the rest of the salad items and mix.
  • If your family has individual tastes, display topping options on a Lazy Susan and let each person add their own toppings and dressings.

  1. Susie, great job on the blog! I am a big proponent of making my own salad dressing and I’m going to buy some ginger so I can make this salad this weekend. I have kale growing out my ears!!
